"This reads like a children's book. Not even YA. Nothing wrong with that, but it's mismarketted. Not sure why I bought it. I'm hoping it improves but I feel I am being talked down to. It's marketed as fantasy so I'm not going to moan about the dubious history but... Am I being taught to suck eggs?
Also it could do with an edit... Too much of the language is too modern. This is a far cry from Philip Pullman" — 23 hours, 23 min ago

“Intelligence is the capacity to receive, decode and transmit information efficiently. Stupidity is blockage of this process at any point. Bigotry, ideologies etc. block the ability to receive; robotic reality-tunnels block the ability to decode or integrate new signals; censorship blocks transmission.”
